After appearing in five feature films as Tarzan, Gordon Scott headed to Italy in 1961 to co-star with Steve Reeves in Duel Of The Titans. Scott remained in Europe where he appeared in a myriad of Sword and Sandal films, becoming one of the genre's more prolific stars. The first of his solo starring performances was in Maciste At The Court Of The Grand Khan which American International Pictures imported to the U.S. as Samson And The 7 Miracles Of The World. Eschewing the usual Greek or Roman settings, this story is set in the 13th Century China where Maciste (aka Samson) has come to rescue a prince and princess from a cruel Tarter chieftain who is trying to steal their kingdom. After many miraculous feats of strength, good triumphs over evil. Samson And The 7 Miracles Of The World is presented here for the frist time on DVD in the proper 2.35 widescreen format.
The second feature is Ali Baba And The 7 Saracens in which the famous hero of the Arabian Nights (herein played by Dan Harrison) is pitted against Omar (Gordon Mitchell), the evil king of Coprah. To complicate matters, Ali Baba is in love with Omar`s beautiful niece Fatima. Ali Baba and Omar eventually face each other in an action packed duel to the death.
